Preventing and addressing lead poisoning in Ghana

Watch this video on how UNICEF works with partners in Ghana to prevent and address the effects of lead poisoning on the growth and well-being of children. In Ghana over 1.7 million children are estimated to have blood lead levels exceeding 5 micrograms per deciliter. With millions of children's lives at stake, we must take urgent action to end child labour and protect children's health from the effects of lead poisoning.
